Hair Loss. Destroyed, Reborn & Finding Me - The Women'S Hair Loss Project

So materials project was something that I started in 2007 after having been dealing with hair loss and it's 1999 and that my worst possible place in my life I had basically hit bottom, was in the couch all the time I didn't want to get up. I was depressed, I just thought life was over, could be over for me and and like there was an appointment living anymore and I didn't have anybody to talk to. I didn't have anybody that was out there like me, so I basically started a blog, which is basically my journal me journaling my process through dealing with hair loss. I was like a young woman and I was basically writing myself, basically because nobody knew about my blog. So I would write every day and just talk about the ins and outs and the daily grind of having to deal with hair loss, Pat's, a 20-something woman and what it was doing to me. And then I wrote and wrote and eventually grow back to me. And I realized that I wasn't alone, but I told my parents I had hair loss, they didn't seem to keep impact it the way that I was doing seat. Obviously it didn't seem death back though I do know that one time I was really upset - and my dad did say you know if he played was my dad with a lot of hair, already had a lot hair at the time. But if he could, you know change places with me, you know, give me his hair so that you know I wouldn't be going through. I was born, so I think that was know his attempted trying to help when the detergent that he was - and I looked in the mirror to realize that wasn't me looking back and it was somebody else I was no longer. It starts to impact you when you realize it's you're, leaving you're going you're going away you're. Not there anymore, you aren't who you were born. You thought you were born with all the attributes that you are today and then you realize that's going to take it away and you don't even know how to be yourself to fall. I find hope until I start Women's Health Project, and it was still years it took time after that, because it took people to join, to seen other women that had progressed further than me and who had found solutions. They were wearing hair, they were living her life. Wasn'T until I saw other women leaving their life with her loss were wearing here and seem to be successful at it that I found hope for myself because up and to that point I was hoping for a cure. I was with her loss. Stop I go to. I give at the church and pray for you, st. Jude. I pray, I didn't mean I did everything, but listen until I found other women people to live their life wearing here with their hair loss and making work that I actually thought I had a shot. After several mishaps would bind here online, I actually went to Kalia and wearing one of my wigs actually and was able to see how natural here actually be, and it actually was the first time that I remember that blonde the hair, when it was the first time That I actually remember saying to myself: there's there I am like it was the first time I looked in the mirror, and I had seen myself since the beginning cut my hair long. It was like seeing me again, and it was an epiphany - that I wasn't going to be easy to wear here because wearing wigs the process feel it like. Hair is all this, but it was a chance. It was hope it was an opportunity to know that. Possibly I could go out to the world and portray myself the way that I was meant to for the way that I wanted to. I had to learn to wear the hair work with it and accept all of the limitations of it. But you know it was just something that it was. It was such a time, but it was something that really gave me hope.
